No. 886,742. Speeification of Lettere Patent. Patentted Apr! 23, 1908.

T0 all whom it. may concem: 1 Be it known that I, MIOHAEL H. FLYNN, aoitizen of the United States of America, residing at Hartford, countyofHartford, State of Connecticut, have invented certain Improvements inType-Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification. A

In front strike ty'p-ewriting xioaehines manufactured under thepate1its" of Edward B. Hess, the t pbars are ivoted in a segment endnorm y lie towar the front of the machine. To the heel ofeach t pe baris attached a forwardly extending link united by a vhi e ioint to therear. end of a shorter front Whose front end rocks about a 'fixed point;

tached, the link i displaced out of parallel- 1sm With the remainderthereof. Such bend over the ends of tongue is turned around end cl'ampedupon the part 4, 5, while the longer tongues are turnedaround andclamped upon those adjae ..cent parts of the link which have not been'displaced and Which are Parallel and inthe seme line ,with' .each other.When the tongues are firmly clamped, the projection 8 Willberigidly'attached to the link and cannot trn thereoh because there aretwo noncoincident axes 6 and 7. In this manner a rigid, stableunion ofthe link and projectioh mai be eifected without use of solde r end .Wout objectionable use of such compression strains"as might be liable toinjure the or-render it liable to breakage.

The projeotion 8 has two apertures, one 9 for connection of a'link toextend rearwardly to the universal bar of the machine and a smallerbne10 ,for attachment of the end of a 'coiledreaction spring serving tohold the type When the joint-between these to the r1nt oint with anmcreasin veloeity. In l) m e of su ch machines v?hich have beenmanufactured and laced u on the market there is secured to t e link t atis attachd to the heel of the type bar a downward projection to which isointed a rearwa.rdl extending link that o erates the universal ar. Alsothere isattao ed to such that acts to return thetype bar to normaposition.

This invention comprises a novel means of attac hing such downwardprojections'to the ty)e bar operating links. n the accompsmjring drawingFigure 1 is a side elevatioh showing the ty e bar operdownwardprojection therefrom secured thereto in the manner contemplated 'by thisinvention; Fig. 2, shows a portion of sueh a link; Fig. 3, shows a sheetmetal blank forming thedownward rojection; Fig. 4, a front elevation:and ig. 5, a side view showi1ig the blalnk when it has been mani ated orbent into condi tion to be applie to the link; Fig; 6, a section on thel1ne6, 6, ofvFig. 1: Fig. 7, a view of a ortion of a link towhich aprojection is to e attached: and Fig. 8, shows a plate or projectionapplied to a link having the formation shown in Fi 7.

At one end, the link 1 is forn'oed with a snap hook 2 for efleoting ahing connection with a short front link whose front end rocks about Intestimohy Whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
